At just 21 cm (8.3 inches) long and 280 g (9.87 oz), The Mini is light as air, yet strong enough to weather any storm. It’s the small umbrella with a big purpose - to simplify life without compromising on beauty, performance, or sustainability.
Why We Created It: Small Umbrella, Big Mission
We designed The Mini to meet the needs of modern life - where space matters, style is personal, and sustainability is essential.
City commuters, weekend travellers, and minimalists alike told us they wanted an umbrella that fits everywhere - from coat pockets to crossbody bags - without sacrificing strength or coverage.
So we engineered The Mini with:
-
A high-strength, wind-resistant steel frame for durability
-
A PFAS-free waterproof coating for cleaner rain protection
-
A r.PET canopy made from six post-consumer recycled plastic bottles
-
Full coverage when open - despite its tiny, handbag-friendly size
This isn’t just our smallest umbrella yet - it’s our smartest.
Why You Need It: Autumn’s Everyday Essential
As Autumn rolls in, so does the rain. The Mini was made for this season - compact enough to carry everywhere, strong enough to keep you dry, and beautiful enough to feel like a luxury accessory.

And as the gifting season approaches, it’s the perfect present: stylish, sustainable, and universally useful.
